Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Eze 23:20 - Doted // Upon their paramours // Whose flesh

Doted: see Eze 23:5 .

Upon their paramours Egyptians, and the nations that were confederate with the Egyptians; looking on them as able to defend by their power, enrich by their trade, and make prosperous by their friendship.

Whose flesh & c.: in these terms the prophet expresseth the vehement desire of the Jews to Egyptian idolatry, compared to whoredom, and may, for aught I know, tax the lustful impudence of some of the Jewish women in their corporal uncleannesses with the Egyptians, who were it seems (by report of authors) naturally disposed for that vice, and fittest for unsatiable, lustful women: see Eze 16:26 .

Haydock: Eze 23:20 - Asses

Gill: Eze 23:20 - For she doted upon their paramours // whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses

For she doted upon their paramours,.... Or "concubines" ^z; the neighbouring nations and allies of the Egyptians, whose friendship the Jews courted, and whose idols they served: the Septuagint and Arabic versions wrongly read the Chaldeans:

whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses; by "flesh" is meant the "membrum virile", which in asses is very large, and therefore dedicated to Priapus by the Heathens; and vast is the profusion of seed in coitus by horses, to which the flesh and issue of the Egyptian paramours are compared; who were very libidinous, and therefore desirable to insatiable women; all which serves to express the eagerness of the people of the Jews after idolatry.
